Whether it’s a solar battery installation or the installation of an entire solar PV system, including solar panels, we’ve got you covered.
Solar battery storage is a great extension to your existing renewable energy solutions as it lets you store excess energy generated when the sun is out for later use. This way, the excess is not simply sent back to the National Grid.
With a battery system, you can use the stored energy at a lower cost instead of relying on the expensive grid electricity during peak hours. It allows you to use the sun’s power long after it has set, as the batteries discharge the stored excess energy to power your household appliances and devices.
There are four types of solar batteries: lead-acid, flow batteries, nickel-cadmium and lithium-ion batteries. Lead-acid and lithium-ion are the two most commonly available types of batteries on the UK market.
This energy storage product not only works with existing solar panels but can also be installed and charged with the main form of electricity used on your property. If you’re charging your battery with power from the grid, it’s best to use time-of-use electricity tariffs to charge your battery during hours when electricity is cheaper.
Here are some other benefits you can enjoy when installing solar batteries:
If your household or business operations are at their peak during the day, investing in storage may not be as beneficial, as you’ll be using the majority of your solar energy generated. However, this also depends on the capacity of your panels and your average energy consumption.
If you’re out during the day and more active at night, it makes more sense to opt for a battery to ensure you get the most of your generated energy.
Battery material: Look into the pros and cons of each battery pack’s material and which one will work best for your solar energy requirements.
Battery lifespan: Refer to the manufacturer's specifications to determine how long it'll last. Choose the battery that'll last enough to keep up with your energy consumption.
Depth of discharge: Look into the percentage of the electrical energy that can be discharged from the battery’s total power output. Lithium-ion batteries usually have DOD limits ranging from 80% to 95%.
Efficiency: Depending on the power generated with your solar panels, you’ll need an efficient battery that matches the solar panel output and your energy usage.
